saint of humanity

At the Grand Governor's Mansion, Lu Ye returned with great anticipation, but he realized something was wrong as soon as he entered the room.

On the big bed that he had never used, there was a pink gauze curtain covering it. In the dim light, there was a graceful figure lying on the bed, with one hand supporting her cheek and looking towards him.

There is an intoxicating atmosphere floating around.

Lu Ye stood in place, staring at the hazy figure in front of him.

"Brother Ye...you're back." Youdie's soft and tender voice came, extremely seductive.

Lu Ye took a step forward, walking as fast as a dragon or a tiger.

After a few breaths, Youdie was strangled by him and thrown out the door.

Youdie turned around quickly and slammed the closed door, angrily saying, "How am I inferior to the vixen outside? Mr. Lu, explain it to me clearly."

Her nose was almost crooked from anger.

During the previous battle, she stayed in Yuanxi City and saw the situation on Lu Ye's side clearly.

He looked so impatient outside, but he became a different person when he got home.

The door suddenly opened again, and Youdie quickly put on a smile: "Brother Ye..."

Before she could finish her words, Lu Ye threw something at her. She hurriedly caught it and found that it was the body of the female cultivator from before. However, the clothes on the front of the female cultivator had been torn, and the tight clothes inside could be clearly seen.

With a bang, the door was closed again.

Youdie held the cold body of the female cultivator in her arms, completely confused and not understanding what Lu Ye meant.

In the room, Lu Ye sat cross-legged with a set of golden silk soft armor on his knees, which he had just stripped off from the female cultivator's corpse.

Bian Liao's voice rang out in my ears: "What a pity, what a pity..."

It would be great if this thing was a weapon like a sword, a gun, a stick, or something like that, then it would definitely become food for it. Unfortunately, this is a protective weapon that can be worn on the body, and it is completely useless to it. Even if it gets it, it can only watch helplessly.

"That female cultivator should not have relied on this treasure to advance to the Dao." Lu Ye stroked the soft armor. The power of the talent tree had been activated. Invisible roots penetrated into it, devouring the mystery within.

"Indeed!" Liao also agreed.

Because if that female cultivator relied on this treasure to advance to the Dao, then her strength must be much stronger, and her protective power must be far beyond that of cultivators of the same level. If this is true, Lu Ye has no good way to deal with her.

In this case, there is only one possibility. This attribute treasure was obtained by the female cultivator after she was promoted to Hedao. Although it has been nurtured, the effect it can exert is ultimately limited. The only benefit this attribute treasure brings to her is that her protective ability is stronger. Therefore, although her strength was not as good as that of the Hedao of Lingfeng City before, she had never been injured, all thanks to the protection of this treasure.

The talent tree devoured the treasure, and what was obtained was not only the mystery, but Lu Ye’s Tao power was also improved, and it was improved a lot.

You know, when he swallowed the destiny dice, it was purely for the power of Taoism. The destiny dice had not been nurtured, and it still brought him a lot of gains at that time.

At present, this treasure has been nurtured by a Hedao for who knows how many years. After swallowing it, the amount of Dao power that can be obtained will naturally not be small.

Time passed, and after several days, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes. The golden silk soft armor that had been across his knees in front of him had become dull, as if it had been eroded by endless years.

As soon as he moved slightly, the originally intact golden silk soft armor suddenly turned into powder and scattered around him.

This surprised Lu Ye.

He has refined many Taoist soldiers. The Taoist soldiers that remained after the monks died in battle all contained Taoist power, which could be refined to replenish his own Taoist power reserves.

However, those Taoist soldiers would not behave like this after being refined. Most of them still maintained their original appearance, but they had lost their previous strength and function.

It will never turn into powder like the treasure in front of it, as if it had never appeared.

Unable to figure out the reason, Lu Ye hurriedly checked the talent tree.

After a while, his joy was evident on his face.

It can be confirmed that what the talent tree needs for its next transformation is the mystery in the attribute treasure. The talent tree has swallowed a destiny dice before, but at that time Lu Ye only wanted to accumulate Taoist power and did not notice the subtle changes in the talent tree.

This time I paid special attention and finally noticed something.

But... after the joy comes the worry, because although the talent tree has changed, the changes do not seem to be very big. This undoubtedly means that in order to reach the level where it can transform, it may have to devour a lot of attribute treasures.

This thing's appetite is even bigger than that of a 獠!
With Liao's promotion, Lu Ye at least had a similar goal, but with the transformation of the talent tree, he couldn't feel where the goal was, and it felt like it was a bit far away.

Then he thought of another question.

How did the talent tree come into being?
He got this thing from Jiuzhou. Looking at the entire starry sky, Jiuzhou was indeed extraordinary at its peak, but in the Star Abyss, Jiuzhou was nothing.

The talent tree obtained from Jiuzhou can still play a vital role until today, and it can even devour attribute treasures. If it transforms again, I am afraid it can even devour the ultimate treasure?

In fact, Lu Ye had long suspected whether the talent tree itself was a treasure, but this treasure was different from other treasures he had seen. It had great growth potential.

Yuan Xicheng's recuperation time this time is quite long, not because Yuan Xi can stand the loneliness, but because of the continuous battles in a short period of time, everyone would be exhausted. No matter whether they are in harmony with the Dao or integrating the Dao, they all need to replenish their own Dao power.

For any cultivator, his or her own reserve power must be maintained at least 70% of the full power, so that there is room for maneuver when encountering a battle. If the reserve power is insufficient, it is very likely that there will be a situation where one's own power is not enough in a battle, which would be too embarrassing.

Lu Ye rarely had such worries, because his Dao force reserves in the talent tree were too huge, and it was much easier to replenish than for other cultivators, so even though he consumed a lot of energy in every battle, he could still maintain it.

This is also the reason why many Hedao cities began to lie dormant after participating in a great battle in the snowfield. On the one hand, there are cultivators who need to heal their wounds, but the most important reason is to replenish their consumption.

So when Lu Ye walked out of the mansion one day, he found that the entire Yuanxi City was silent. There was no one in sight. Everyone in the city, from Yuanxi to the Rongdao slaves, was practicing hard.

He walked slowly to the Taoist pond and immediately saw Fan Wu sitting cross-legged there.

Last time he asked Fan Wu to keep an eye on Lianzi's situation, so Fan Wu stayed here without moving.

Sensing the movement, Fan Wu opened his eyes, clasped his fists and said, "Grand Commander."

Lu Ye nodded, walked to the Taoist pond and saw the lotus swimming around in the mist. Compared to before, its condition seemed to be better, but it still looked a little weak.

The three breaths of poison gas previously consumed quite a bit of its energy.

"Has it eaten all the fish here?" Lu Ye looked at it for a while and his eyes twitched.

After the Dao Pond was built, it began to breed Dao fish. After Yuanxi City was promoted to Hong level, the production of Dao fish is actually quite good. When Lu Ye passed by here before, he could still see traces of Dao fish in the pond, but where are the Dao fish now?
Fan Wu said, "It eats every time a baby is born. I'm afraid we can only use this pond to raise lotus seeds."

“It hasn’t fully recovered yet!”

"Yes." Fan Wu nodded. "If you want it to recover faster, it's better to feed it some Taoist fish."

Lu Ye immediately shook his head. How could he still have any Dao fish in his hand? He had already refined them all.

There are some on Youdie's side, but they are of great use and cannot be moved for the time being.

As for Yuan Xi... our city lord has always treated fish as dirt, so it is very likely that he does not have any on him. The richest person in the city is probably Lian.

The owner of the Jinrui Tower owns a huge foundation in the Hehe World and must be extremely wealthy.

The city lord must think of a way to make Lian bleed a little so that Lianzi can be raised. If this is possible, next time we encounter a difficult-to-conquer Hedao City, Lianzi will be a killer.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Lu Ye said hello to Fan Wu and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Soon he saw Yuan Xi and talked with her for a while. Yuan Xi nodded her head and then shook her head and said, "General, you don't know that Lian is very stingy. Last time I asked her to borrow money to buy slaves, she refused. If I hadn't made a fortune betting on the battlefield, I'm afraid I wouldn't even have those slaves."

Lu Ye thought about it and realized that Yuan Xi was talking about the first time he fought a life-and-death battle with someone as the Nameless Guest.

He then urged, "How do you know it won't work if you don't try? My Lord, think about it, Lianzi can break the formation, and with the help of Lianzi, we can quickly conquer the enemy's Hedao City. In this way, we can quickly obtain the fragments of the Hedao Pearl and strengthen our city. In this way, we can quickly advance from the Hong level to the Zhou level, and the Yu level is just around the corner. By then, all the ten major Hedao cities will depend on us for survival!"

Yuan Xi had no other weaknesses, and leading her Hedao City to the top was definitely one of them. When Lu Ye said this, she was immediately moved and stood up suddenly: "I will go find her now, and the matter of feeding Lianzi will be left to her from now on. If she dares not to respond... hehe!"

She spoke with gnashing teeth, as if she would torture Lian if she didn't agree.

A cup of tea later, at Lian's residence, she stretched out her hand to rub her forehead, looking at Yuan Xi who was hugging her thighs at her feet and looking at her pitifully, feeling a headache: "You are now a Hong-level city lord after all, can you not be so shameless?"

Yuan Xi hugged her legs tighter: "Anyway, no one else can see it. If you don't agree, I won't get up!"

"Okay, okay, it's just Lianzi, I'll raise her!" Lian really had no idea what to do with her.

Yuan Xi immediately jumped up, held up Lian's face and kissed her fiercely: "It has to be you, Lian."

Lian had no expression on her face. She was kissed with saliva all over her face. She waited for Yuan Xi to let her go before she wiped it off with disgust. (End of this chapter)
